Special Containment Procedures: Any known containment effort has failed, as SCP-████ is able to form in any location. SCP-████ is known to form only in Norway, efforts on figuring out any pattern are also underway.

Description: SCP-████ is a small white door of indeterminate genetic makeup, despite this, it appears to be made of some sort of oak tree. SCP-████ is approximately 1.8 meters tall and 0.7 meters wide. As any other door, SCP-████ is decorated with a small silver door handle. Said door handle appears to be well polished, and any attempt to tarnish it has been unsuccessful. SCP-████’s durability also seems to be unlimited, being unable to be broken from any tool or on any surface. Attempts to look behind SCP-████ door frame have also been left with inconclusive results.

SCP-████ will randomly appear in any area within the boundaries of the country Norway, and may disappear from the area at any time. Some records have shown the door to take as long as a month, or as quick as a minute.

When in physical contact with the door handle, the inflicted area will begin to adhere to it. After approximately 1 (one) minute the exposed region of the subject’s body will begin to bleed violently, and bone inside the limb or body part will distort to extreme levels. This has been reported as incredibly painful, and subjects will usually faint of shock after the first 20 (twenty) seconds of the transformation. The subject will not be able to remove themselves from the door handle until it has opened. When attempting to open the door, it will commonly jam, and will need careful execution to open correctly.

SCP-████ will reveal a small dirt lot when opened, no matter the area or surface it manifests in. Subjects report strong emotions towards entering the lot after opening the door, and any attempts to stop subjects from entering the doorway has resulted in the subject lashing out in a frenzy to remove any personnel trying to stop them. After entering the door, it will close for approximately 5 (five) minutes while audible screams (Presumably from the subject) are heard. After this time has passed, the screaming will stop and the door will emit a quiet clicking noise. Any camera or audio equipment will fail as soon as the subject enters the door.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-████ is to be kept within an airtight cell room, measuring approximately 1.5 x 1.5 meters wide and 2.5 meters tall, inside the room a plexiglass box measuring 0.3 x 0.4 meters wide and 0.8 meters tall is to contain SCP-████ itself. A vacuum seal in the room must be activated before entering or exiting the containment chamber, all personnel entering the chamber must be outfitted with proper gear before entrance as well.

Description: SCP-████ is a small orange book, measuring around 0.1 meters wide and about 0.2 meters tall. There is no title on the book, and within it also appears to be blank. Despite this, when a picture in up to a 20 meter radius1 of SCP-████ is taken it will create a watermark across the photo. This watermark depicts an image of a small book with a bookmark hanging from it in the center of an X. Along the sides of the X are the words, "copyright". It is possible to remove the watermarks, although it is a quite lengthy process. SCP-████'s effect can be limited if it is not in contact with air, the effect only occurring when taking a picture of it instead. When taking a picture of SCP-████'s pages, it will sometimes show sentences and phrases, commonly in quotations. These sentences seem to be speaking of people in the room, commonly saying names, nicknames, or descriptions of them. Researchers have tried to speak to SCP-████ due to this, but all attempts have failed.

Item #: SCP-████

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-████'s perimeter is to be secured by a thin concrete wall, measuring approximately 4 meters tall and having barbed wire covering the top of it. Guards are to be stationed 6 meters apart along the perimeter at all times. Signage detailing dangerous waste is to be posted around SCP-████, and on paths leading to SCP-████.

Description: SCP-████ is a coast in █████, Oregon with the sea paralleling it being full of fin like rock formations. SCP-████'s effect ranges approximately 40 meters along the coast, and starts at the rock slope towards the water.

When stepping in SCP-████'s range and disengaging vision from the rock formations off the coast, be it blinking or looking away, a random creature/creatures (Further known as SCP-████-1 Onwards) will appear from behind or on the rock formations, and in some cases, be apart of the rock formation itself. The appearance of the creature/creatures varies greatly, being able to be incredibly small or large (See SCP-████-1+ Listings for more detail), some even causing disruptions in the water or in the rocks. None of the creatures so far viewed have been documented animals, all appearing very alien like. The creatures are incredibly docile, not moving out of the water, or out of SCP-████'s range, only being aggravated or attacking when individuals go into the water with the creatures (See addendum ████-2). Despite the size of the creatures or of any disruptions caused by them, anyone not in the range of SCP-████ will not see any creatures caused by SCP-████, or any changes in the environment they cause (See addendum ████-1).

Addendum ████-1: Initial Discovery

A Mobile Task Force unit was sent out after sightings of large flying beasts and giant monsters were reported off the coast of █████, Oregon. All residents of the town were administered Class-A Amnestics after discovery of SCP-████.

<Begin Log>

Alpha 1: We're approaching the reported sighting zone now sir.

Command: Understood Alpha 1, have you found anything yet.

Alpha 1: We've just reached the coast, I- what the fuck?.

Command: What is it Alpha 1?

Alpha 1: There's a swarm of… pterodactyl looking things circling the rock, I swear to god they weren't there a second ago.

Command: Pterodactyl?

Alpha 1: Yeah, they look kind of brown with green beaks or something, and they have wings like, 6 meters long. There's like 4 of them.

Command: You described them as circling, is there anything else up there?

Alpha 1: Not that I see command. Bravo Team are you getting this?

Bravo 1: No Alpha 1. The rocks are clear for us.

Alpha 1: What the hell?Command: Disengage Alpha and Bravo team. A containment unit is being sent to your position.

Alpha 1: Understood Command, moving out.

<End Log>

Addendum ████-2: Attempted Recovery

An MTF containment force was sent to the discovery zone of SCP-████ approximately 5 hours later after the initial discovery team dispatched. The team was equipped with six officers, each equipped with assault rifles. They were deployed with a medium sized boat, equipped with net guns on either side of it.

<Begin Log>

Cpt. White: Hello Command, we've arrived at the discovery zone.

Command: Good Captain White. Please get in the boat that has just been deployed.

Cpt. White: Understood Command, moving out.

Cpt. White: Uh command? These aren't Pterodactyl like.

Command: Excuse me Captain White?

Cpt. White: These are like… giant crabs. They're crawling all over the rock.

Command: Crabs? Could you give further description.

Cpt. White: They look sort of like orange rocks, but with giant claws. They don't appear to notice us. Should we still get in the boat Command?

Command: Commence recovery, if anything happens retreat back to shore.

Cpt. White: Understood Command, we're loading on the boat.

Cpt. White: Command the crabs are retreating into the water… should we be head back.

Command: Continue with recovery Captain.

Cpt. White: Understood Command, should we circle around the- what the fuck?

Command: What is the problem Cpt. White?

Cpt. White: There was this grinding noise and our engine just stopped, the crabs are still underwater.

Command: Be prepared for any combat, and send somebody-

Cpt. White: Oh fuck!

Command: Captain White? What is the problem?

Sound of Gunshots

Cpt. White: The fucking crabs are attacking us! They're like bullet-proof! We already have two men down!

Support team arrived on scene approximately 2 hours after Captain White's initial distress. Upon arriving on the shore the crabs were replaced with a singular lizard relaxing atop the rock, and the boat was abandoned, aerial view reported blood marks dragged out of the boat, and bullet holes in some parts of the book. Support team was removed from area after discovery, and official containment procedures established.

Crabs with rock like body structure, being brown with bright orange splotches. Assumed to be several times larger than a normal crab.

SCP-████-3

A large creature resembling that of an Iguana Iguana instead being a darker purple with grey splotches. SCP-████-3 was assumed to be around 4 meters long and 2 meters tall.

SCP-████-4

A cephalopod like entity, being derived from a rectangle body shape with 5 tentacles. SCP-████-4 appeared to be covered in a mucus like substance, making it appear incredibly slimy. It was dark brown in color, and around 5 meters tall. SCP-████-4 possessed a singular green eye with a pupil similar to other cephalopods.

SCP-████-5

A collection of 23 barnacle like entities, connected to the rock and all jutting outwards approximately 2 meters. SCP-████-5 were a brown coloration with beige discolorations around the end of itself and on the sides of their masses. SCP-████-5 was noted to calmly pulsate.

SCP-████-6

A creature resembling that of early placoderms was seen swimming around the water near the rock formation. It had a large bone growth from the bottom of its jaw, and was a steel like gray in color. SCP-████-6 appeared around 6 meters long.

SCP-████-7

A large creature appeared to grow out from underneath the rock formation, it appearing like a large fin to the creature. Onlookers did not see the rock raised as previous records would suggest. SCP-████-7 was a baby blue color with white coloration along its spine. It appeared larger than 30 meters.

SCP-████-8

Blue vine like growths started to grow from underneath the rock, slowly covering it. The vines had fully covered the rock, and did no further past that point.

SCP-████-9

A large swarm of insects swarmed around the rock. Exact descriptions of the insects could not be made.

SCP-████-10

A single green flower. It was approximately 2 meters tall, and continued to grow up to a meter taller.
